Ms. Jennifer Van Barneveld-Pe:

My day begins slightly before sunrise to get a head start ahead of my 2-Year Old Son – it’s Mommy time for a few hours before my son’s Nanny arrives before I begin my work day.

From there it is Email and Social Media Marketing sharing Exercise and Nutrition information along with data analytics followed by writing a daily Client Success Story.

After 2 hours of marketing, I spend the rest of my work day on Client Responses and Programming.

I’m also fortunate enough to be able to work from home so get plenty of Mommy Time in-between my work day too which is why I love the ability to work from home with today’s technology and speed of exchanging information.

I always try to fit in a workout. I either go to the gym for an hour and a half or I head outside for a walk or some HIIT.

After my workout, I’m usually back at my desk by 2:30 where I finish up the next days marketing. By 4:30pm I start making dinner for my family, it usually consists of BBQ chicken, steak or baked fish, I also love to make spaghetti or tacos as they are a big hit in my household.

By 6pm, I start bedtime routine with my son and he’s usually sleeping by 7pm.

I sometimes have to finish a little extra work from 7-8pm but I usually like to shut down around 8pm and spend quality time with my husband.

I’m always in bed and usually sleeping by 10:30pm and I usually love to read before bed. Right now I’m reading – The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck …which is quite interesting.

My day-to-day during the week is usually the same. I like order and I feel like my son does better with it too. Weekends are usually packed with fun family activities and visiting a lot of extended family. No order, just fun and quality time.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine that you may like to share?

Day 6 & 7 usually fall on the weekends. I like to keep my weekends open with my son but if I can squeeze in a gym date with my hubby I’ll either chose an upper body split or lower body split, whatever is less sore.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?

Ms. Jennifer Van Barneveld-Pe:

There is no special diet or specific menu that I adhere to.

But, as a Nutritionist, I stick primarily to whole foods and an abundance of fruits and vegetables for the majority of the week.

I’m well aware of my Protein requirements and fill in the rest of my daily calories with carbohydrates and dietary fats that I enjoy often indulging with my husband but staying within my calorie ranges through responsible portions.

This is a very similar approach I take with my clients encouraging them to move away from behaviors that no longer add value to their health and to embrace habits that are more in line with their fitness goals.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Share with us your haircare and skincare routine?

Ms. Jennifer Van Barneveld-Pe:

I used to use a lot of high end skincare products but from some recent research I did, I decided to ditch them because of all the chemicals and parabens used to preserve the products. So I only use organic skincare lines now.

I really love Sukin. Great quality and all the products are reasonably priced. Win win!
